About Tour Guide Tim D.
I came to Japan in 1998, intending to stay a few months, but enjoying Japan, I never left. I was intrigued by the history, culture, language, and food. And the fascination and excitement of exploring and learning new things about Japan still exists with me today. The variety and choices of things to do and places to go can be overwhelming. I can offer you suggestions and a unique perspective on Japan. I can share local knowledge about things often missed. Fluent in Japanese with a master's degree in Japanese Studies and living in Japan for over 20 years, I can be your guide.

“Unexpected experience”
This night outing took us to places that we did not suspect and that we would not have visited by ourselves. Among other things, our guide was able to make us enjoy very typical mazes and bistros. The explanations provided about the life of this neighborhood in the evening allowed us to discover another Tokyo. Thank you Tim for these moments that will remain good memories
Tim D.
Thank you so much, Philippe! I’m really glad I could show you a different side of Tokyo at night. Exploring those hidden backstreets with you was a lot of fun. I’m happy it became a memorable part of your trip!

“Outstanding Day With Tim”
Had an outstanding day with Tim who picked us up from the Royal Park Hotel Haneda and then navigated us all over Tokyo with a smile and was great company….his knowledge was amazing and we were so fortunate to have him as our guide….book with Tim and you’ll have a day to remember
Tim D.
Appreciate it, Mervyn! We had an awesome day with great company and some fun little discoveries along the way. Let’s find even more next time you’re in Japan!

“Wonderful tour guide”
Tim was an excellent tour guide. He was on time for our meeting and managed to take us in many places for the four hour window we had available. He patiently waited for us to accommodate our children whenever they wanted water, food or even a small break from walking. He knew all the streets inside out and spoke fluent Japanese with the locals to find a place to dine in. I would highly recommend Tim for your Shinjuku, Shibuya and even greater Tokyo tour.
Tim D.
Really appreciate the kind words, Katia! I'm glad we made the most of your time in Tokyo, and your kids were great. Hope to see you all again for more exploring next time you're in town.
